4. come out：出來

第四、語法點撥

1. As soon as Mr Bumble came out,Noah cried,

要點解析：劃線部分是有符合連詞as soon as引導的時間狀語從句，意思是“一.......就......”；“剛......便......”。再如：

I'll write you as soon as I get there. 我一到那兒，就給你寫信。

2. It’s the meat that’s caused this, you know.

要點解析：這個句式是倒裝句，結構是It+系動詞+被強調部分+that+其他成分。這個句子強調的是主語the meat。You know是作為插入語。

3. Back in the workhouse this would never have happened.

要點解析：這句話是省略if的非真實條件虛擬句。主句用到的是would never have happened，這是對事情的主觀猜測，并不是事實。
